In SOME jurisdictions 'deferred adjudication' is available for certain (usually minor) offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, education, etc.. If all the conditions are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence. Deferred adjudication can be recommended by the prosecutor or sometimes is awarded at the discretion of the judge.
